Bass Conjecture

Algebraic Geometry

The Bass conjecture, in algebraic geometry, states that certain algebraic K-groups are finitely generated. It was proposed by the mathematician Hyman Bass.

Facts
Statement
For any finitely generated Z algebra A, the groups K prime n of A are finitely generated. 1
